Panavision SSR manual
V1.0
Pushing the
ALT
key yields other icons and transport controls:
ALT
F1
cues the SSR to the first frame of the very first clip.
ALT
F2
cues to the first frame of the
very last clip.
ALT
F3
or
ALT
F4
will rewind or fast forward. Alternate functions for the home
screen are illustrated in section 4.3.
Pushing
ALT
F3
to rewind before the very first clip will cue up to 25 seconds of color bars with
legitimate timecode. This is useful when doing a dub from the SSR to a videotape recorder (see
Appendix C).
The key features of the HOME SCREEN are:
TOP section - Status and Error messages
The first line shows the current system mode (LP/SP), timecode base (24/25/30), format
(422/444), frame rate (23.98/24/25 etc...) and total SSR capacity at this frame rate.
The second line will display error code and message when needed.
The third line displays the total number of clips in the clip list, temperature status, key lock status
(yellow if locked with switch, red if locked with user code).
TOP section - Input Status
Input status is indicated by four characters: A, B, G and T. A white coloring indicates that the
input exists, a grey coloring means the input is absent.
The
A
and
B
characters indicate HD-SDI inputs Link A and Link B. When docked to Genesis, the
input status should generally display both A and B in white.
The
G
character indicates the status of the Genlock input, and is only present when the SSR is
used standalone.
The
T
character indicates the input status of external time code, it will have a green background
when the internal timecode is jam synced to the external code.
MIDDLE section - Clip List
The Clip List display shows up to four lines of previous recordings. The current clip is highlighted
in blue. The clip list shows either the Timecode (internal or external) that was recorded along with
each clip, or the SSR absolute position (analogous to control track). The clip list
timecode/position mode follows the setting of the Sub TC Display menu. See section 5.4.
BOTTOM section – Sub TC Display: Playback Position and Status
The smaller numerals show the current playback position, either in absolute position or as
timecode, alongside with the status (STOP, PLAY etc...). See section 5.4.
BOTTOM section - Main TC Display and remaining capacity fuel gauge
The remaining recording capacity of the SSR is shown both numerically as a timecode, and
graphically as a decreasing green bar. See section 5.4.
BOTTOM section – Bar Graph of Analog Audio input Level
If analog has been selected as the audio source, the bar graph will show the input level in EE and
record modes. Audio levels are not shown during playback and the bars are absent. To set a
precise audio input level you should use the expanded display in the audio menu, see section 5.5.
ICON section - Function key icons
The area on the right hand side (or bottom if the display is rotated) shows icons associated with
the four function keys. When a function key is pushed, most icons will invert and display a red
outline as a visual confirmation that the function has been selected.
